Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Let me sure I got this right. Your plan is to take states that don't like you and teach them to be more independent of the federal government, is that correct?

You want Boston to throw another tea party? They're game.
No taxation without representation motherfucker.
I live in NC. We have a Dem governor, but the House and Senate are controlled by Republicans. The state has gone to Trump three times. What is his plan with that?
His plan, no matter what he says, is to fuck each and every one of us who isn't already rich and preferably white.
Woah you look like an immigrant with this statement. Careful about ICE
Dangle the money over the state and tell residents they can only have it if they remove the Governor.
Or the potus. Seems a much easier choice.
He'll double down. Obvs.
Remind me which states pay all the fucking taxes again?
Remind me again why some states would want to remain in a union if they aren't benefiting from the partnership

Mississippi and Arkansas.
He’s saying he wants to make that imbalanced dynamic worse than he did last time. It’s a comically nihilistic strategy - or at least, it would be, if I didn’t live in one of the bluest states in the damn country

And whenever it’s Democrats in power they have to kiss Republicans’ ass.
No, they treat all Americans as All Americans. Which is apparently a fucking unbelievable concept.
Oh for sure. But it’s just so stupid that Republicans are going the “power grab” route since probably Democrats (might) be so inclined to do the same next time they have power.
The Dems will go right back to tolerating intolerance if they ever get back in power.
That's just it, they don't expect Dems to ever have power back. And so far, I can't say they're wrong.
